Cluster ID

The cluster ID uniquely identifies clusters within your deployment. All nodes within a cluster should have the same cluster ID. A cluster ID a 64-bit identifier that is represented with 3 groups of hex digits for human readability (for example, xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx where x are hexadecimal digits).

Application concepts

The top-level structure in your deployment. Applications are used to organize your data. An application comprises a set of dashboards, along with the underlying model, computed attributes, and data integration elements.

Design concepts

Entities are the central element of the model. An entity centralizes a set of attributes and is similar to a class in an object-oriented language.

Entity key

Once you've defined attributes for an entity, you can specify that one or more of these attributes will be entity keys. Keys are used to identify, retrieve, and solve instances of data during the data integration process.
